Ainsley took the hit, but he'd spun a little so that it wasn't quite the direct blow Amy had been going for. And he recovered fast enough to reach out and grab Amy's foot as it shot out. He bent it back with enough force to hurt, not to break, and pushed her back.
"Rip me apart then, bitch," he literally growled out. He and Amy had never been the best of friends, though they'd got on well enough in the past for Liam's sake. Though often times Liam (or sharing Liam) was what caused some of their tension. Not to mention the digs she still liked to get in about Ainsley's former lifestyle.
"These are my friends and you will not hurt them."
